Mockingbird Features

We're never
on hiatus!

Features

In addition to our primary project, the book; our other major undertaking, the album; and our on-going support and perpetuation of one of the longest-running online resources for Phish fans, The Phish.net, we try to provide fans with a number of resources and diversions that will enrich their experience of Phish and their music. This page is an attempt to collect those offerings that are available online. We hope these efforts will increase awareness of the Foundation and its larger goals, and welcome your suggestions for other areas or opportunities we should cosnider exploring.

Mosaic:

The Mockingbird Foundation invites parents, teachers, schools, camps, churches, and friends to send photographs of your relative, neighbor, or youth group playing music. Submissions will be compiled into a large mosaic, printed in poster form, from which all proceeds will directly benefit music education for children. For more information, please see the request for submissions
